Dear Stinkydog

Here are the rules--
You must have your own blog. And I will be limiting my own interviews to the first three requests. You have to link back to the original post and also to your interviewer's post and include the following:
Want to be part of it? Follow these instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

BUT, I am going to stop here and not interview anyone--sorry, I'm laim. (heh).

1. Describe your personal style.

2. Have you ever met anyone famous?

3. If you had not become a nurse, what do you think you would be doing right now?

4. If you could live anywhere in the world, cost not being a factor, where would you go?

5. What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you?

The answers are:
  1. I'm not sure I have a personal style. I do know I am not real traditional. I can't stand flowers in the house (unless they are real), and I tend to change frequently. For instance, when I was in nursing school- country was all the rage. Wouldn't be caught dead in it now.
  2. I have never been OFFICIALLY introduced to anyone famous. However, a few years ago Russell Crow came up to me and Casey at the Indy 500 and spoke to us (I was star struck and ran for my camera too late!). It was right around the time he threw a phone at some hotel personel, etc. I have seen Paul Newman, Crystal Gayle, and numerous others at the Indy 500....all from a distance.
  3. Going to nursing school saved me. That sounds corny I know but I was in a spot/time in my life that was going NO WHERE. I believe if I didn't go to school and finish I would probably be smoking pot and working at some cheezy hairdressing place.
  4. Since I haven't been everywhere I want to go in the world that is hard to answer. I am imagining I would want to settle down in Hawaii or on the beaches of Greece. I just don't know. I do know I want to live where it is warm and sunny 99% of the time. I can't stand cold weather, never have and never will.
  5. I don't know what the funniest thing that happened to me was. Maybe when my friend Theresa accidently called a radio station wishing me happy birthday and it wasn't even close to my birthday (she had me and another Robyn mixed up), but clearly announced it was my birthday. Of course she made sure everyone we were working with was listening. I do know the funny crap I've done to other people,my favorite is when my friend Ronda and I put blue food coloring in Patrick's nose spray at work and watched him walk around for 12 hours with a blue nose and upper lip. He never did get me back good for that which makes it all that much better!

Goal #1 accomplished!

Okay, when were rolled into a new year I did not post my 'resolutions'. Most of you know I always say they are only made to be broken. But every year I set goals in my head and hope to get every one of them done. I can honestly say when I tell people these goals I seem to squash them all on my own. Like when I told Stinkydog I wanted to run the Boston Marathon when I turned 40 or when I told Kate I would love to win the Race for the Cure. Each time I somehow sabotaged my own goal, either by slacking off or just ignoring it. If you ever look my race times up you know I could have easily accomplished either one. I told my work a couple of years ago I may go back to school and finish my masters or something. Have I done it? Noooooo. So anyway, you can count on the fact that if I say it out loud I will not do it. Dumb, I know.

So when I got back from Stinkydogs house over new years I told myself and no one else several things I should do this year. One was to be more green, I have never been much into recycling and have no idea why not. So I have turned in all my plastic bags you get at the grocery store and Target (yes I turned them in at the recycling bin) and purchased my reusable bags. I have successfully made this transition and am very happy about it. Key is to stick one of those suckers in your car at all times. That way last minute trips to the grocery store don't tempt you to use the plastic bags that seemed to multiply by the thousands in my pantry.
One down and several more to go!!! Anyone care to guess what the others are? I'm already well into my second one.

Although Casey did play a little basketball last Saturday her time was much better spent on the bench cracking jokes. She was clueless the other team was beating us by 30 points.
